Advantages: Bitchy banter

Disadvantages: Bit repetitive

If you are into voyeurism and like judging people then this is the show for you. It is a quirky little show that once you start watching it sort of sucks you in as you want to know the final outcome. It is a simple concept based on cooking and the dinner party.

The basic idea is to take four contestants and ech one hosts a dinner party which the others attend, they then vote of each others abilities in the kitchen and as a host and the winner gets £1k. Nice and simple to understand and naturally it being TV the sort of people that it attracts are the usual attention seekers after their 15 minutes in the spotlight.

As you would expect there is a fair amount of back stabbing in the various vox pop sessions with the contestants and this sort of show works when it is at it's cringe worthy best especially when there is a personality clash between the contestants. The show is also funny when the guests get a bit hammered and then have to cast their votre, in fact if I ever went on this show I reckon I would put alcohol into everything as it can be a vote winner.

It is best not to take this sort of programme too seriously, it makes no bones about the style of contestant they want, they even get to tour around the hosts house making comments along the way for the camera, personally if you are so egotistical to put yourself forward fo this type of show then you deserve what you get in my opinion.

Having said that I do get a perverse pleasure from watching it and it is my shameful secret (not so much now I have written this review mind).

Summary: Reality style show
